EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Yoko and the Tiger, from Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety" we are transported to a world where bravery and filial piety intertwine. Created by the talented Utagawa Kuniyoshi in 1840, this color woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing both intricate details and emotional depth. The scene depicts a young boy named Yoko standing fearlessly on the banks of a river, facing an imposing tiger. The tension between them is palpable as their gazes lock, each sizing up the other's strength. Yoko's unwavering determination shines through his eyes, while the tiger's powerful presence exudes raw energy. This artwork is part of a series that celebrates filial piety - one of Confucianism's core virtues - which emphasizes respect for parents and ancestors. Yoko embodies this virtue as he bravely confronts danger to protect his loved ones or fulfill his duties. Kuniyoshi's skillful use of vibrant colors brings life to every element in the composition: from Yoko's flowing robes fluttering in the wind to the lush foliage surrounding them. The artist seamlessly blends realism with elements of fantasy, transporting us into a realm where humans coexist with wild animals harmoniously. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and profound message about courage and devotion.
